One Week

Greetings Family!

Today I am so very grateful and realize that I have some many things and resources. I am so grateful to God for my family and friends and for the out pouring of love.

On yesterday my cell phone and laptop (2 weeks) old was stolen out of my office while I was teaching. Mentally I was done but I sat at my desk on yesterday evening and gave thanks unto God before calling the police. It was the hardest thing I had done. I was truly tested on this journey yesterday because I wanted so deeply to rely on my normal stress relief, bad day, just relax glass of wine. Dealing with all the emotions of the situation with out help from the world, was pretty intimidating.

I asked God to calm me and to reveal to me what I did have. I was not harmed. I had a phone at my desk to call the police and my mom. I had insurance to cover theft. The theif did not take any of my cash or credit cards. I had my keys to drive home...I was set in all honesty. Even though I felt violated I had everything I needed.

Most people know I am addicted to my cell phone so I felt weird driving home and not checking it every 5 mins. But I have not had a phone all day today and realized how much time my phone consummes. So I said "God what am I supposed to learn from this?" I realized that I am so consummed with keeping in touch that I can't really focus on the HIGHER CALLING.

So even though I will get my cell phone replaced I will definetly approach differently and spend some time with the phone off (literally off)powered off. So that I can truly focus and be engaged.

I am grateful for the revelation, I am grateful that God wrapped his huge arms around me and gave me peace. I do not understand fully why this happened but I am grateful for the lesson and the revealing that God has shown me.

Happy Fasting Everyone!!!!

Bless the Lord oh my Soul and all that is with in me. Bless his holy name!!!!
